Excerpt from Facts and Documents: Illustrative of the History, Doctrine and Rites, of the Ancient Albigenses Waldenses Many writers have supposed the Albigenses and Waldenses to be the Witnesses predicted in the Apocalypse 5 and one of the most recent and popular advocates of this Opinion is Mr. Faber 5 who, in his Sacred Calendar of Prophecy, has endeavoured to maintain the high antiquity and orthodoxy of these sects. That part of his work being comparatively new, and only published by him since I had ceased to think that any of the systems, founded on the mystical interpretation of the 1260 days, required minute examination, remained almost unknown to me until my atten tion was recently called to it. Much as I had seen of the manner in which historical facts have been selected, distorted, and mis-stated, to sup port the system of the 1260 years, it was not without surprise that I read the testimonies which Mr. Faber has adduced in support of his opinion 5 and I felt that it was due to the cause of truth.
